If you give a mouse a cookie, he's going to
ask for a glass of milk.
When you give him the milk, he'll probably
ask you for a straw.
When he's finished, he'll ask for a napkin.
Then he'll want to look in a mirror to make
sure he doesn't have a milk mustache.
When he looks into the mirror, he might
notice his hair needs a trim.
So he'll probably ask for a pair of nail
scissors.
When he's finished giving himself a trim, he'll
want a broom sweep up.
He'll start sweeping.
He might get carried away and sweep every room
in the house.
He may even end up washing the floors as
well!
When he's done, he'll probably want to take
a nap.
You'll have to fix up a little box for him
with a blanket and a pillow.
He'll crawl in, make himself comfortable
and fluff the pillow a few times.
He'll probably ask you to read him a story.
So you'll read to him from one of your
books, and he'll ask to see the pictures.
When he looks at the pictures, he'll get so
excited he'll want to draw one of his own. He'll ask for paper and crayons.
He'll draw a picture.
When the picture is finished, he'll want to
sign his name with a pen.
Then he'll want to hang his picture on your
refrigerator.
Which means he'll need Scotch tape.
He'll hang up his drawing and stand back to
look at it.
Looking at the refrigerator will remind him
that he's thirsty.
So...
he'll ask for a glass of milk.
And chances are if he asks for a glass of
milk, he's going to want a cookie to go with it.
